In an emotional statement uploaded on her Instagram account on November 30, the Preview November 2023 cover star Kathryn Bernardo finally broke her silence on the rumors surrounding her high-profile relationship with reel-to-real-life boyfriend Daniel Padilla.
Featuring a nostalgic photo of the couple in their teenage years, Kathryn officially confirmed their much-speculated breakup: "It's true that Deej and I have decided to part ways," she wrote.

Devoid of resentment and hostility, her emotionally vulnerable message was a bittersweet goodbye that chose to underscore the best memories they had growing up together before ultimately deciding to end their love story with mutual respect.
"We grew up together, dreamed together, and saw many of those dreams become a reality—still together. That's almost half of my life that I would never regret and would never trade for anything in the world. These are 11 years that brought me joy, adventure, and the feeling of being home," Kathryn's statement reads. "Our love story began with respect and ended with respect."
Closing the chapter, Kathryn concluded her statement with a message for their fans, thanking them for giving them the time they needed "to process the pain" and asking for their understanding as they continue to heal.

Shortly after, Daniel also issued his statement on his own Instagram account. Echoing Kath's tear-jerking message about their 11-year relationship, the actor also shared a poignant letter. "Ang mga alaala natin ay laging kong baon sa aking puso at magiging liwanag sa mga madidilim kong araw," he wrote. "Thank you for dancing with me during my highs and thank you for singing with me during my lows. Our lives may drift away, but our love will still ride that tide."
